Comedian Bill Cosby’s daughter Ensa Cosby has passed away, she was 44 years old according to reports.
Ensa Cosby died Friday in Massachusetts, TMZ has confirmed.
While the cause of death hasn’t been confirmed at this time, Ensa had a history of medical problems, and was in need of a kidney transplant, according to the site.
“We’re told she had kidney issues and possibly was in line for a transplant.”
Cosby has not issued a statement about his daughter’s death.
Ensa was a supporter of her father’s, amid his sexual assault allegations. In May of last year, Ensa and her sister, Erinn, released statements on the radio show “The Breakfast Club” defending their father and his reputation.
“The accusations against my father have been one-sided from the beginning. When he tried to defend himself, he was sued in civil court,” she said in a statement. “I’ve seen the accusations become more horrific and extreme with time and I’ve witnessed my father’s reputation and legendary works be dismissed without any proof. I strongly believe my father is innocent of the crimes that are alleged against him and I believe that racism has played a big role in all aspects of this scandal. How the charges came against him, how people believed them before they were ever scrutinized or tested, how people who questioned the claims were shut down and ignored.”
The statement continued,
“The media created the story and the outcome before any court will ever test the claims,” she went on. “How my father is being punished by a society that still believes that black men rape white women that passes off as ‘boys will be boys’ when white men are accused. How the politics of our country prove my disgust. My father has been publicly lynched in the media. My family, my young daughter, my young niece and nephew have had to stand helplessly by and watch the double standards of pretending to protect the rights of some, but ignoring the rights of others and exposing innocent children to such appalling accusations about someone they love dearly and who has been so loving and kind to them is beyond cruel.”
Our prayers are with the Cosby family during their time of bereavement.
